The coronavirus pandemic has reached an unsettling new phase, with variant strains of the virus popping up around the world—including here in California.

In order to explain how these variants came to be and what they mean for public health, Los Angeles Times executive chairman Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong has released a third installment of his video series, “The Science Behind the Coronavirus.”
